Help: Configuring Router

Hello guys, ran into some trouble today, basically i am trying to get connectivity from my router. I created an ip address which was 192.168.1.20. subnet mask 255.255.255.0. All my lights on the router are on and green. My ethernet cable is connected from my pc to my switch and the lights are on as well. I go on cmd and i ping 192.168.1.20 and i get this.

Interesting. I created another address. 192.168.1.35 subnet 255.255.255.0 and i ping with cmd and its giving me a connection. Is there a reason why that ip address worked and not the first one?

Even though i am getting a connection, once go on putty and try to use SSH it is not working. Network error: Connection refused.

What IP did you assign the router and its interface? What are you trying to accomplish? As far as your SSH issue.. what did you do to configure SSH on the router?

Did you place the #transport input ssh command within your line vty 0 4?
Did you create a username and password?
Did you assign it a domain?
Did you run the #crypto key generate rsa command? From there you can use the #ip ssh command to modify what you want.

For the router i assigned it 192.168.1.35 255.255.255.0. My Interface for fa0/0 is 192.168.1.30, fa0/1 is 192.168.2.8. I am just trying to get a connection going on putty so i can log into using SSH or telnet, but both giving me no connectivity. And yes i did place the transport input ssh command in the line vty 04. Here it is
line vty 0 4
exec-timeout 0 0
privilege level 15
password cisco
logging synchronous
login
transport input ssh

I did create a domain name as well under Aaron.local. And i did #crypto key generate rsa. and i put enable ssh version 2.

I am able to connect through serial but not telnet or ssh.

Set line vty to:
#login local

You have to authenticate your ssh connections, either with a local login or AAA authentication:

Assign user name and password using the #username (username) password (password) command and try it again. If you can, post your #show run and #show ip ssh

Just realized you want to do both as well instead of just one or the other..

Set line vty to:
#transport input telnet ssh or #transport input all (for now)

Any luck on either?

No luck at all. Tried both and it said Network Error: connection refused.

What IP address do you have the host assigned and on what port is the switch connected?

So what im thinking is the IP Address i created in my Local area connection right? I used 192.168.1.35. Subnet 255.255.255.0 The ethernet cable is connected to Switch1 Port 0/9. The light is lighting up as well on the switch and even on my desktop.

I'm running out of options, my Jedi is not as strong as it once was. Have you configured the management vlan on the switch? Can you give me a show run of the switch?

Haha its okay, I did configure the vlan on the switch awhile back. Vlan1 with an ip address of 192.168.1.1

Can you change the domain name to the same as the router for shits and giggles? Can you also try and ssh from the switch into the router instead of your PC first? If that doesn't work, try and remove the SSH information from your switch and try again.

How would i go about using SSH from the switch into the router? And how would i remove the sSH from the switch? Is it #no crypto key generate rsa? Thank you

in the enable prompt type:

#ssh 192.168.1.30 - it should prompt you for your user name and password

if not try

#ssh -l (username) 192.168.1.30

If you created crypto keys on the switch, you need to type #crypto key zeroize rsa I believe.

Do me a favor too, run show ssh on your router.

I am Typing in ssh | Aaron$ 192.168.1.35 and its not working, saying invalid input.

SW1#ssh 192.168.1.35
% No user specified nor available for SSH client

try

SW1# ssh 192.168.1.30 - NOT 192.168.1.35 (you assigned 35 as your host IP)

or

SW1# ssh -l (L) Aaron 192.168.1.30 (the -l identifies a user name)

We are trying to troubleshoot connecting through SSH to your router, we are not trying to connect to your host. What I'm really going to laugh about.. is if this whole time you've been trying to SSH into yourself... Not laughing to make fun of you.. but laughing in general because it's an easy thing to look over.

I tried using either of those commands you told me yet it does it work as well. SW1#ssh -| AaronsSwitch 192.168.1.30 ^

SW1# ssh -l (L) Aaron 192.168.1.30 (the -l identifies a user name)

haha oh my..i think your right i have been trying to SSH into myself this whole time and i didnt realize i am not trying to SSH into another device, but i thought for lab purposes your able to SSH or telnet into your own?. I was just following a youtube video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JfmP3l62rU&index=9&list=PLhm7TO7Y354QPnO7ePCyiNT6B1jMEUWMp near the end hes able to ping.

Even after using those commands neither of them work
SW1#ssh -| AaronsSwitch 192.168.1.30
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

You're using -| and not -l (lower case L). SW1# ssh -l (lowercase L) Aaron (not aaronsswitch)192.168.1.30

Copy and paste this into your enable mode on the switch:

ssh -l Aaron 192.168.1.30

If your host (PC) has an IP address of 192.168.1.35, how would you SSH into yourself? You'd have to try and SSH into your router where the SSH authentication is. You assigned the router an IP address of 192.168.1.30, so you'd try and SSH into it there.

Ping your router from your switch and then if you receive a good ping try and telnet into your router from your switch:
SW1# telnet 192.168.1.30

and let me know what happens

I understand now haha wow. The .30 was from router that i have assigned. I telnet into the router and it works.

Okay, try the SSH without the "-l Aaron" this time and let me know what happens. I'm going to look up the error and grab some lunch, I'll be right back. It looks like the session is opening, so I'm not sure why it's aborting.

Tried that as well, SW1#ssh 192.168.1.30% No user specified nor available for SSH client

Take your time, no worries.

I tried that way and it did not work.

SW1#ssh 192.168.1.30

Interesting, so it opens a session when you place the "-l Aaron" but then it closes due to an abort error... Like I said, I'm not that strong with the force anymore. I'll keep looking for the error.

In the mean time, try and use other usernames and passwords. Create them first, then use them in the "-l (username)" command.

Also, try and zeroize the keys on the router, then run the generate key command again. Then try and login.

It worked when i open up putty and tried using SSH. It did not say no connection this time. It told me to login, however i put in my information which is right it does not let me log in. I plan to reset the whole config and do it again for more practice but i think i got it.

Okay, good deal. Hopefully I was helpful and not hindering, heh. Take it easy.

One thing to watch out for is an SSH version mismatch between devices; if you're trying to SSH from a device using Version 2 to a device using Version 1, for example, you'll get a refused connection.
